I have a mighty vac, I use all the time, it works best for me to either
just put the tube over the bleeder, (no fitting) or use one of the
pointy ones, and stick it IN the bleeder
Brad, If I can make it work, any one can :)

The 3 right angle fittings for the bleeder, do not fit. Thus, no seal,
thus, no
vacuum, thus, not work. The right angle fittings are hard plastic, not
rubber,
so if it won't fit, it aint gonna fit.
It is CRAP!
